He also falls in love with two women – Barbara (Olivia d'Abo) and Genevieve (Jayne Heitmeyer) – who are close friends with each other. Genevieve becomes pregnant after having sex with him and he secretly marries her. The pregnancy results in a still-birth. Being caught by Genevieve in the act of having sex with Barbara, he accidentally kills his wife in the ensuing argument, and buries, with Barbara assistance, Genevieve's body on a downtown construction site. In the end, it turns out Genevieve is still alive and was conspiring with Barbara and the senator; however, this is an intransparent part of the plot.Actors
